I have a hobby of doing the opposite: making undesirepaths.
During large snowfalls, I often need to bring out the shovel and make a path, both from my house and in front of it towards the main road. I like to add turns and bends, just enough to confuse and lightly annoy, but not enough for people to consider stepping into deep snow or making their own path.
Psychopath.
In my junior high days (mid 80s) My friends and I found a machete in one of their dad’s stuff. We spent a weekend bushwhacking paths around some city-owned but undeveloped land near a lake. We ended up wearing them down pretty good into bike paths with some jumps and cool whoops. A few years later, the city turned it into a park and paved our paths.
I’ve heard a story about a college campus that didn’t install any paths, waited for natural dirt paths to form in the grass, then installed paths there. Neat idea.
I heard the same story, but for a Disneyland.
I heard that’s what they did for your mom’s house.
Whole front yard is BRICK
I think that would be UC berkley
Ah the ol’ desire path strikes again!
I enjoy the Desire Paths community here on Lemmy. It’s so interesting to see what paths people take contrary to what paths are laid out for them.
I heard Finnish municipalities do studies when it’s newly snowed to check where the desired footpath goes by looking at tracks in the snow. It avoids that issue in the image
That certainly speeds up the process so they can Finnish early.
They don’t wanna be Russian around.
Otherwise there’s Norway they’ll be done in time
Sweden.
Sweet, man.
Dude!!! What’s mine say???
It says you can’t have a race there, all lines are Finnish lines
These are called desire paths.
My takeaway from this is that I can spawn park benches and greenery by walking on the grass.
That’s why there are all those “keep off the grass” signs. If people just walked all over the grass willy-nilly we’d soon be knee deep in benches and bins, and nobody wants that.
